What Does A Lump In The Throat Indicate?
I have a lump on the side of my throat that appeared two months ago. While going to the dentist I found out that I had an abcess molar tooth on the same side. The dentist suggested removing the tooth and clearing the abcess and lump with antibiotics. Two weeks later, tooth is fine but neck lunp remains. In the area of a swollen gland right underneath the jaw bone. what could this be?
